Customer Ratings & Reviews

Beautifully designed and sounds fantastic. I enjoy being able to use Alexa with it and purchased speakers for surround sound. Overall great product in one compact speaker.

The sound quality is great! Recommended if you are looking to upgrade your TV sound or simply get a boost in sound. Great bass sound as well!

We’re a small business Home A/V Installation Service that focuses on practical solutions that are future proofed to a certain degree. Sonos offers ease and practicality with a level of precision like no other. I tell my customers all the time it won’t literally happen but on the level of product comparison; Sonos has the tech and product level that redefines music and could put Bose in their place to out of business. Sonos is to retail shopping what Amazon has done to the world.

Very pleased with this purchase. Sound quality is excellent. You can calibrate the level of sound with the room of where you place the sound bar

Sonos is the best Soundbar that you one can purchase. We thoroughly enjoy the sound quality and may even invest in a sub woofer down the line.

Love the sound. Happy with purchase and service. Installers are great sales leaves something to be desired

Even though it is not the latest version, the sound quality is very good. Good value for the price! I love this brand...

I love my sound bar. It has quality sound. Easy to install. I only got the bar but can’t wait until I get the small speakers to go in back.

We have never enjoyed sound more! The white also blends in very well with our living room.

Amazing sound for TV and music. We are very happy with our purchase

This sound bar has a wonderful sound. Went out and purchased the Sono SL speakers as well.

Excellent and powerful sound bar. Better than my vision one

Awesome sound quality. Sounds like surround sound without other speakers!

Solid sound bar with good sound. Easy to set up with Sonos app that supports other apps within it. First Sonos product and I am happy with it.

I’m giving it 4 stars which is probably unjust because I’m asking a lot of this little sound bar. I connected it to my kitchen TV which is mounted above kitchen cabinets about 10’ high. Our kitchen/family room is one large room with 20’ vaulted ceilings and is 42’ feet long. In this large space we have a hard time hearing dialogue even with the feature turned on and treble turned up. In a small room I think it’d be great! Overall I’m happy with it. I bought the TV Mount which works great!

The Beam is the newest Soundbar from Sonos. It's smaller than the original Soundbar, simpler to connect and adds Alexa voice integration and Apple Airplay 2. Like other Sonos speakers, sound is rich and clear. Through the controller app, there's a room specific calibration, eq, night mode and voice enhancement settings. It does, as expected, produce a much richer sound than the TV speakers. It has four woofers and one tweeter. As a member of the Sonos system, the soundbar can optionally be paired with a Sonos subwoofer and a pair of Sonos speakers (Play:1 or Sonos One) as surround speakers. In this set up all the speakers work together in a group like a single system. Airplay 2 allows to use the whole Sonos system in addition to grouping Apple TVs (4 or newer) to play music from any app on iOS or macOS. Connecting it requires a power cable and HDMI 'ARC' from a TV: Most newer TVs have a single HDMI connector that's designated 'ARC' (Audio Return Channel), so whatever audio comes with the video on the TV is transmitted back through this port. Additionally the speaker can turn on or off the TV and the TV can control the volume via the CEC signal that’s transmitted via the same HDMI cable. The drawback is that this uses one of the few HDMI inputs on the TV. The 2017 model TV we're using the Beam with has 4 HDMI ports, but only two of these are 4K, ad one of these two is the ARC port (HDMI 2 in our case). So there is only one HDMI 4K port left that's where we have an AppleTV. Sonos Beam also has an alternative connection adapter that takes an optical audio input, found in most TVs (TOSLINK) and connects to the HDMI input on the speaker. The soundbar won't be able to turn the TV on or off (via Alexa) with this system. The Beam also has an infrared receiver that learns the volume commands from the TV remote. Because of this excellent integration, it doesn't have a separate remote control. It just works with either the TV's remote of the AppleTV remote in our case (The AppleTV uses the HDMI CEC connection to get the volume controls across). Setting up the Beam requires a phone or tablet: Download the app, start it, and then press the pairing button on the Beam, and within seconds it connected, asked for WiFi connection and was set up. It didn't require the phone to pair with a temporary WiFi network like other speakers do. It's very simple to do. In my experience simpler than setting up the Echo or other speakers. The soundbar doesn't have a Bluetooth connection like other speakers do, but the Sonos system is fantastic. It connects to every single music provider I could think of, including Apple Music (Not just Airplay 2 but native integration), Spotify, Pandora, Google Play, Internet radio, Plex, etc. Also, if using iOS, Airplay 2 is a better choice than Bluetooth. Then there is Alexa integration. While it's not the same as an Echo device (It's an 'Alexa enabled device'), it does pretty much anything an Echo does but doesn't currently support communications, drop ins or announcements, also doesn't join Echo music groups, although I can tell an Echo speaker to play music on the Sonos. Also, and this is different than other Echo speakers: When it wakes up with the Alexa keyword and is listening to a command it plays a chime. This is to announce that it's listening, but Echo devices don't do this and I initially found it very distracting, although after a week got used to it. Note that while voice with Alexa can control a Sonos playlist, if asking Alexa to play something it works like Echo devices, as it plays from the music sources configured in the Alexa App. There are four touch-sensitive buttons (not physical buttons, they're part of the surface, touch sensitive): Volume up/down, play/pause and mic button. There is a small white light for the mic button and a small light for the play button that changes color/intensity depending on what it's doing. It's quite faint and not distracting. The soundbar itself is quite compact, and while it's primarily designed to be sitting on a TV stand, it can also be wall-mounted, but the wall mount is extra. I'm disappointed that the wall mount didn't come with it because it doesn't use standard mounts. Sonos sells a custom wall mount for the Beam and a 3rd party mount to use as an under-cabinet speaker. The mount was quite expensive although I'm impressed how well it's made. It's a thick metal piece. The mounting holes fit like a glove, it has a felt backing so it doesn't mar the wall and is very simple to install either between beams or with anchors.

It's a great stand alone sound bar. I love the sound quality.

Awesome soundbar!!! I will get next one for other rooms.

I love it the sound is perfect I enjoy every movie

After hooking it up and programming everything, I couldn’t be happier
